slack day
ive had quite a slack day today. missed my morning class so that i can have enough energy for my afternoon class - which consisted of a graded mock job interview. i fared pretty well in the interview. so school for me today was just um, half an hour! hah.
i headed to Shaw in the evening to catch the lake house with alvin. i met alvin last month at a magic competiton at Kovan. he is a magician. he's quite good at sleights - something that i still cant do. i am after all, merely an assistant to my magician sis.
yeah anyway, the movie? *sigh* romantic. not exactly my sort of show but i liked it. i've fallen for keanu reeves, like a suicide from a bridge. i was cursing in my head when he ran out immediately after reading that darned letter. right... wont be a spoiler. but the movie did sway my emotions (or at least, remind me that i do have emotions) - something that most movies failed to do.
alvin did ask me what i thought of the flim. i said it was romantic but too unrealistic. and he asked me why. i thought the answer was obvious - there were too many coincidences. and such love in the movie, well, is too strong to be real.
but he did show me the flip side of the coin. his view was that the plot actually mirrors everyone's own love story and the challenges... the waiting game, how both aprties wished they could have met at a better time, how coincidences keep bringing people together...
yeah i guess that's true. life is magical (pardon the pun) in some ways.
